Novak clearly has no idea of what is going on around him. What does this say about his judgment? The man has no professional credibility now, kind of like Limbaugh, the self-admitted drug abuser. Both should be pulled off the air–their judgment is way off and it affects their behavior to the point where they violate laws–committing fraud, running down pedestrians without looking back, leaving the scene of an accident. What next? Time to take away the driver's license along with the FCC license.

I've always said he's just a cranky old man (typical Republican) – now this just proves it!

Novak, McSame, Graham and all the rest of the ol' geesers should be shoved out of washington; they are a perenial hazard to everyone else in this country in more than one way – –

Nlk Green is right: there is one law for celebrities and another for the rest of us! That's the lesson and importance of this episode.

Was there a sobriety test done. He probably had a liquid lunch.

William, from Cali!

Just the facts, please!...........Did he hit, someone?.......Did he leave the scene of the crime? Will anything be done about it; that will involve money?

Karen from Missouri

Will someone explain to me how you hit - even "brush" a pedestrian and not know it?

Having watched as a pedestrian was killed by a car in the lane next to mine, I have sympathy for both Mr. Novak and the person he struck.

Obviously, it is Bush's fault

LOL Are you sure? I thought it was McCain's fault.

Glad to hear the hit and run victim is okay. He did realize he'd hit someone and simply failed to stop and render aid. Will he be sighted for this as you or I would have been? No! of course not.

Wow! I have an opportunity to comment on a story like this and the whole world can read it! Is this a great country or what?!

He should have immediately wrapped the pedestrians head in a turban and proceeded to yell 9-11 terrorist repeatedly, then he would be a hero and not a villain. Didn't he learn anything from the last 8 years? Gee whiz.

If every time we clipped a guy with a car, or shot a friend in the face, we had to stop and render aid, old white guys would never get anything done! We're trying to run an Empire here!

July 23, 2008 01:51 pm at 1:51 pm |

Boom-Boom

So what's new about this?? Every hit and run perpetrator says "Oh, I didn't know I hit anyone/anything!!" I'm 64 years old and I would certainly know what that sound was. If it were ANYONE else other than a vindictive journalist they would be charged with leaving the scene!

ProudToBeDemocrat

The old man Mccain is not going to name his V.P this week, all he is doing is palying with the stupid media's head, trying to still the attention obama is getting overseas. He is like the rest of the conservative republicans Crook and twisted mind.

If Bob Novak wants to say he didn't know he hit anyone as a defense then his license should be suspended at the very least.
That is what would happen to you or me!

Digmy

I don't understand how a slight clipping gets you injured in the shoulder.
I read on another blog Novak's car was a Vette.
Vettes are pretty low to the ground.

DflateMacsStr8TalkXpress: Econ MIA, AWOL on facts, POW from reality

This scumbag tried to flee the scene after the pedestrian rolled across his windshield! Looks like he done learnt lots from the Bush/ Cheney/Rove administration.

Novak, traitor to his country when he published the name of a CIA agent. Now, soon to be convicted fellon for hit and run . Unless bush of course, gives him immunity from prosecution or a pardon in January.
